This one was an insta-preorder, and when it popped up on NetGalley, I thought I'd give it a request and see what happened. I made a squee noise much longer than truly necessary when it was approved. So thanks to the author, as well as Avon via NetGalley for the review copy. Will Sedgwick can’t... Continue Reading →
Review: The Court of Mortals by A.J. Lancaster
So, I wasn't kidding when I said I was going to jump right into book three as soon as I was finished with book two. ^_^ It was nearly instantaneous! Again, this review is going to contain mild spoilers for things that occur over the course of especially book one, and so if you haven't... Continue Reading →
Review: The Prince of Secrets by A.J. Lancaster
Now that I've finished up my SPFBO responsibilities for the year, I finally have time to read this one. I've been looking forward to it since reading Stariel! I'm going to make this as spoiler-free for Stariel as possible, but with this one it's hard because, well, even the blurb makes a few details about... Continue Reading →
Review: Starcrossed by Allie Therin
I thought of doing both of these books as one big review, but in the end, I think they both deserve their own time in the spotlight, so to speak. Thanks to the author, as well as Carina Press via NetGalley for the review copy! Psychometric Rory Brodigan’s life hasn’t been the same since the... Continue Reading →
Review: Spellbound by Allie Therin
This was one that I picked up on the description alone. Because who can resist prohibition-era M/M romance? Nobody, probably. Arthur Kenzie’s life’s work is protecting the world from the supernatural relics that could destroy it. When an amulet with the power to control the tides is shipped to New York, he must intercept it... Continue Reading →
Review: Shorefall by Robert Jackson Bennett

Having narrowly saved the metropolis of Tevanne from destruction, Sancia Grado and her allies have turned to their next task: sowing the seeds of... Continue Reading →
Review: Bonds of Brass by Emily Skrutskie
I hopped on this one as soon as I read the description on NetGalley because it sounded so up my alley that it hurts. That was before this *gorgeous* cover appeared too. So, thanks to the author, as well as Del Rey via NetGalley for the review copy. A young pilot risks everything to save... Continue Reading →
Review: Finna by Nino Cipri
When I found out that this novella existed, I nearly instantly preordered it, because yes please, this book. When it popped up on NetGalley (which I should really stop looking at so often, lol), I jumped on it, because why not?! So thanks to the author, as well as Macmillan-Tor/Forge via NetGalley for the review... Continue Reading →
Review: The Hanged Man by K.D. Edwards
Warning! Squees ahead. Many squees. So many, many squees. Also, this review is based on a review copy. Thanks to Pyr and the author for the review copy. The last member of a murdered House tries to protect his ward from forced marriage to a monster while uncovering clues to his own past. The Tarot... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Review: The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster
Getting near the end of my slush pile now! It's happening!! The Lord of Stariel is dead. Long live the Lord of Stariel. Whoever that is. Everyone knows who the magical estate will choose for its next ruler. Or do they? Will it be the lord’s eldest son, who he despised? His favourite nephew, with... Continue Reading →
